Board repair time! Spoilers down below. Sorry about the clipping audio again, mic has been adjusted for future videos!
Shorted capacitor on Battery Charger, found with power injection and replaced.
Funnily enough, I worked on this model of motherboard four years ago when I first started learning board repair (LFC#112), and it was exactly the same capacitor. Back then, I found it through trial and error, this time, I've got the equipment and knowledge to pinpoint the fault.

Mate, don't be afraid of making long videos like this one.. the amount of information per minute you share is unbelievable... Just the "V, I, A" clarification is something I (not native english speaker) have been struggling to understand since forever (not sure why it's not pronounced via). Amazing stuff! Keep up the good work, cheers!

Maybe you already know this but you didn't make a point of it. For those not old enough to remember, the meaning of "B Plus" comes from the era when electronics used thermionic valves, which have cathodes that need heating to emit electrons. Circuitry would require two batteries, the "A" battery to power the heaters or filaments in the valves (usually a lead/acid accumulator like one or more of the cells in a modern car battery) and the "B" battery to provide the HT or High Tension supply (typically 120V or more) that would power the main circuitry and do the actual amplifying. Even after the advent of transistors which don't have heaters and so don't require an "A" battery, the main power supply is still often called the "B" supply. It's history, or tradition, or something.

Greetings. Interesting. I have studied electronics. However, I honestly didn't know that. I came into electronics when vacuum tubes were almost completely phased out. I did not have anything to do with with vacuum equipment. It was always B+ and or VCC for me. Thanks for sharing. That information does not help in fixing anything, but it helps for conversation.

I too was wondering why it booted but then remembered that it was the onboard 32GB ssd that was a feature of the Intel Rapid Storage Technology (RST) designed for the times. When the RST drivers were installed, it'd use the onboard ssd as a cache. In this case, it seemed to have stored the boot manager. It likely then crashed on handover to the OS.

Awesome! Thanks for taking the time for a thorough explanation and going through the logic as well as showing it on the diagram. One more option to find hot spots that I like is the upside down can of compressed air to put a layer of frost on the suspected parts. Apply a bit of current and the frost melts off.

This video is pure gold, particularly 08:00: multimeter on Gnd and the current sense resistor "We've got a short in B+ or main power rail, which tends to be fixable. (...) Resistance is 0 ohms which means a dead short circuit; 1 or 3 ohms would mean via the PCH, or the CPU, or the GPU."

I love your commitment to explaining things in a understandable way. I've said it before and I'll say it again; I've been into pc-hardware since I was 14 decades ago and with your video's I've gotten deeper into things and got the convidence to actually fix my HDD and recover my data (yes I didnt backup :P), by getting a donor board and understanding what I saw and having the bios chip transplanted and have it just work again. Keep up the good work

@robertsneddon731 2 жыл бұрын

It might be worth your time to make up a custom set of voltage-injection cables for diagnostics. The end of the ground wire would be a ring terminal which can be bolted on to a ground hole on the board with a nut and bolt rather than having to solder the wire on to the PCB and then desolder it later and clean it up once you start reassembling the machine. I have used a thermocouple probe connected to a digital thermometer to identify hot components in crowded PCBs in the past, it saves on burned fingers and it's less messy than alcohol or other workarounds. Some quite low-cost multimeters accept K-type thermocouples (the yellow two-pin connectors) and will do temperature measurements but the individual thermometers are cheap enough from the Usual Suspects (I think mine cost me less than a tenner including a thermocouple).

I think they way you talk through every step, explaining as you go like it's the first video you ever made, is actually very useful. It might be seen as being regurgitating information already known (from other videos), but the repetition is actually useful for banking the information in to memory. Well done on your channel, you're doing a really great job.

I like the reasoning behind a longer than normal vid, maybe a "teaching" series. Tbf I just enjoy the content for entertainment with occasional pearls of wisdom & maybe as in videos before, a shorter version of the same vid. I do however, appreciate that this idea would take up a lot of extra time and energy. That thermal imager is a god send.

My first attempt at board level faultfinding advice (for those of you that understand) is to check Voltages and capacitors... There are "in circuit" capacitor testers available that are amazing (with a small learning curve)... From my experience of repairing other peoples PC's, if its not a windows thing- its most likely a capacitor LOL (i suppose i could throw in hard drive/ memory somewhere in here too- BUT thats for u guys to work out)
